PS4 is already declining at a faster rate than PS3 though.
PS3
2011 (Year 5), +6%
2012 (Year 6), -15%
2013 (Year 7), -31%
PS4
2018 (Year 5), -8%
2019 (Year 6), -23%
2020 (Year 7), ????
It has been over 3 years since the last permanent price drop and they have gone with the same $199 price point for 3 black fridays in a row, Sony has no desire to go lower in price. At most we will get a $149 firesale when it's getting phased out.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
